- Is there a difference in flavor when brewing 12 vs 18 grams of coffee using Delonghi Dedica espresso maker?
In order to find out, I tried to use a very unique coffee, Anaerobic processed Ethiopian coffee. Grind size for the doses was different but the cup profile feels the same.
But at least I found the best ratio for this coffee.
Coffee grinder: Kinu m47 phoenix. Grind setting for 12 g - 0.9.2. For 18 g - around 1.2.4 (rotation.number.division).

what hand grinder are you using mate?
Kinu m47 Phoenix. I've described the setup in the article (pinned comment)
@@wendstudio_coffee thanks!
What portafilter do I need for this machine to pull 2 non-pressurised shots at the same time?
amzn.to/47Jewni or just the standard one th-cam.com/video/ESfAXMg-_hw/w-d-xo.html
@@wendstudio_coffee I think I will buy a new portafilter and use a non-pressurised basket. What is the basket you use in your video?
Just a regular double shot basket. This portafilter already has a non-pressurized basket. People suggested getting IMS, but I'm fine with the regular one
@@wendstudio_coffee Ok, thanks for the info. I was struggling to extract a good double shot with the pressurised basket. The manual says the basket can hold up to 14g but I can barely get 12g into it and it chokes lol.
@blairhesson660 ascaso dream PID is capable of brewing good shots even with a pressurized filter. The pump is just way more powerful. I prefer to make Lungo nowadays
I like this careful, iterative process to find the sweet spot, rather than just use a fixed prescription based on habit.
Where did you find paper filter that fit bottom of Dedica basket? I have stock basket, Ali basket and IMS basket and each of them is smaller than 51mm. I really would like to try paper filters at bottom after your videos, but they just dont fit and curl up
It's just a 3bomber filters. Maybe it changes the shape a little, but not noticeably. It's a "2 cup" basket.
Any difference between IMS and Ali?
@@wendstudio_coffee Well, it is difficult to say it certainly because there are so many variables to espresso. Even harder on dedica due to unconventional flow path and unstable temperature.
I feel like IMS is much easier to dial in, because it is way more consistent for some reason. In terms of flavour I enjoy IMS, but never compared them side by side. Overall I would recommend everyone with Dedica to get IMS. But you will certainly get strange feeling buying basket for 20-25% price of the machine itself.
Wow, didn't expect you would be so fast! Thank you!
We just don't have blackouts for a couple of days. That's why it's possible
@@wendstudio_coffee may you and people you cherish remain safe and unharmed.
